Goodbye To Our Childhood Hero
WEEI Sports Radio Network

Growing up just 45 minutes outside of Boston, I have always been a Boston sports fan. Every fan from Boston is dedicated, caring and extremely competitive. That being said when the Red Sox were swept on Monday night by the Indians, every fan in Boston was upset. We were not just upset about the loss in the ALDS, we were upset because we were losing the heart of the Boston Red Sox, David "Big Papi" Ortiz. Why will we miss him? Here's only a few of the many reasons we are sad about the loss of a Boston Hero.

1. His smile

That contagious smile of his that makes every one in the world happy.

2.His dance moves

I don't care if you are a Boston fan or not, this is gold.

3.His home runs

Everybody's favorite memory from their first game is seeing a home run, it's even more special when it is a Big Papi one.

4.His classic mannerism across home base

When you see those two hands go up in the air, you know it's a good game.

5.His Love for this city

He is so passionate about Boston and has always been from the start.

6.His passion for the game

His love for being out on the field at Fenway Park with a big smile on his face.

7.His loyalty to Boston

13 seasons with the team that he loves, that is loyalty for his team.

8.His humor

He has the sense of humor of a comedian and can always make anyone laugh.

9.His love for his teammates

He gets along with everyone on the team and he shows that at many different times.

10.Him

Thank you Big Papi for all that you have done for our city.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
